FOUNDED  1905 


THE  Seattle  Car  &  Foundry  Company  was  started 
in  1905  by  a  few  Seattle  business  men  who  had 
faith  in  the  ability  of  the  Pacific  Coast  to  sup 
port  a  home  industry  of  this  nature.  A  steady  growth 
both  in  scope  and  quantity  of  business  has  confirmed 
their  judgment.  Today  the  Seattle  Car  &  Foundry 
Company  not  only  competes  on  an  equal  footing  with 
the  east  for  the  trade  of  the  Pacific,  but  has  extended 
its  field  successfully  into  Alaska,  British  Columbia, 
China  and  all  other  sections  of  the  Orient.  In  its 
commodious,  modern  and  efficient  plant  it  designs  and 
builds  Flat  Cars,  Box  Cars,  Logging  Cars,  Logging 
Trucks,  Air-Equipped  Connected  Trucks,  Logging 
Bunks  and  Chocks,  Gondola  Cars,  Refrigerator  Cars, 
Plantation  Cars  and  Cane  Cars,  Caboose  Cars,  Camp 
Cars,  Industrial  Cars,  Contractors  Dump  Cars,  Push 
Cars,  Quarry  Cars,  Track  Construction  Cars,  Tram  Cars.

The  Leading  Car  Shops  of  the  Pacific  Coast 

At  the  present  time  the  works  of  the  Seattle  Car  &  Foundry  Co.  constitutes  the  larg 
est  and  best  equipped  plant  on  the  Pacific  Coast  for  the  manufacture  of  cars,  trucks  and 
contractor's  equipment,  with  which  is  affiliated  a  rolling  mill,  providing  us  ample  material 
under  most  favorable  conditions. 

While  the  shops  are  perhaps  not  so  extensive  as  those  of  some  of  our  Eastern  and 
European  competitors,  they  are  capable  of  turning  out  work  in  sufficient  quantities  and  of 
a  quality  to  enable  us  to  successfully  bid  on  orders  of  any  proportions. 

We  have  been  able  to  satisfy  the  most  rigid  requirements  of  such  trans-continental  rail 
roads  as  the  Northern  Pacific,  Southern  Pacific,  Chicago,  Milwaukee  &  St.  Paul,  and  the 
Harriman  system,  such  electric  companies  as  Stone  &  Webster,  the  British  Columbia  Elec 
tric  Railway  and  the  Portland  Light  &  Power  Company,  not  to  mention  successful  competi 
tion  in  the  Orient  with  the  leading  firms  of  Europe. 

But  in  spite  of  this  success  we  never  lose  sight  of  the  fact  that  this  plant  was  started 
primarily  for  the  better  service  of  the  Pacific  Coast — particularly  of  the  Pacific  Coast  logg 
ing  trade.  In  this  field  we  claim  a  special  fitness  which  has  been  proven,  by  the  growth  of 
our  business,  in  a  few  years,  from  a  very  humble  beginning  into  an  organization  of  consid 
erable  industrial  significance. 

But  whether  you  buy  cars,  trucks,  forgings,  castings,  contrators,  bridge  building  or 
mining  equipment,  we  are  in  a  position  to  give  you  better  delivery  than  the  East,  greater 
capacity  than  any  other  coast  shops  of  the  same  character,  and  prices  that  are  most  rea 
sonable  for  the  service  rendered.  Our  sales  and  engineering  department  are  at  your  dis 
posal. 

You  will  get  satisfaction  in  dealing  with  us.  Three  quarters  of  our  new  business 
this  year  was  from  old  customers.  Why  not  get  acquainted  with  them  and  us  ?  Write

Details  of  Air-Equipped  Connected  Truck 

(CAPACITY  80,000  POUNDS,  ALLOWABLE  OVERLOAD  10%) 

This  car  was  designed  with  the  object  of  providing  heavy  capacity  Trucks  with  Air-Brakes,  and  at  the 
same  time  reducing  the  dead  weight  and  maintenance  to  a  minimum.  This  has  become  a  recognized 
Standard  Logging  Car,  and  as  the  design  permits  of  considerable  latitude  in  length  of  car  and  centers  of 
bunks,  we  do  not  hesitate  to  recommend  it  to  anyone  who  requires  either  Flat  Cars  or  Trucks  for  strictly 
logging  purposes.  The  convenience  of  operation  as  compared  with  other  types  of  equipment  is  apparent. 
From  an  economic  standpoint  the  comparison  is  even  greater.  Some  of  the  advantages  are  given  below  in 
detail  : 

1st.    SIMPLICITY.     Few  parts  to  get  out  of  repair,  consequently  car  is  always  in  commission. 
2nd.  REDUCED  COST.     First  cost  is  18%  less  than  Flat  Car  of  same  capacity  and  equipment. 
3rd.    SMALL  COST  OF  MAINTENANCE.     More  than  50%  less  than  Flat  Car. 

4th.  SAFETY  OF  OPERATION.  Greatly  increased  over  detached  Trucks  on  account  of  Air  Equipment 
and  rigidity  of  connection,  and  over  Flat  Car  in  loading  and  unloading  on  account  of  skeleton  construction. 

5th.  REFUSE  NOT  CARRIED  TO  DUMP.  No  deck  to  accumulate  rubbish,  adding  to  dead  weight  of 
car,  and  carrying  it  to  the  dump  where  it  is  discharged,  often  necessitating  dredging  to  secure  necessary  depth 
of  water. 

6th.  REDUCED  DEAD  HAUL.  Which  is  SO1/,  less  than  Flat  Car  of  same  capacity  and  equipment.  This 
is  important  where  heavy  grades  are  encountered. 

7th.  OPEN  DESIGN.  Facilitates  operation  of  both  loading  and  unloading,  lessening  the  time  required 
and  reducing  the  danger.  At  the  same  time,  ample  protection  is  provided  for  Brake  Rigging,  eliminating 
danger  of  being  fouled  by  falling  logs. 

8th.  INCREASED  BUFFING  CAPACITY.  Connecting  timbers  forming  back-bone  of  300  sq.  in.  cross 
section,  which  offers  great  resistance  to  buffing  shocks. 

Length  over  timber,  40  feet,  can  be  furnished  up  to  56  feet.  Length  over  all,  42  feet.  Width 
over  connecting  timbers,  30  inches.  Height  to  center  of  Coupler,  2  feet,  10  inches.  Height 
to  top  of  Bunk,  48  inches.  Width  of  Bunk,  optional,  9  feet  or  10  feet.  Bunk  centers  in 
illustration,  24  feet,  but  is  optional  with  purchaser.  M.  C.  B.  Automatic  Couplers.  West- 
inghouse  Air  Brakes.  Inside  Hung  Metal  Brake  Beams.  Standard  Diamond  Arch  Bar  Truck 
Frame.  Metal  Truck  Bolster.  Seattle  Car  Manufacturing  Co. 's  Patent  Cast  Steel  Body  Bolster 
in  combination  with  Patent  Cast  Steel  Bunks,  riveted  together,  making  solid  section.  Thirty-

tandem.)  Bunks  Cast  Steel,  Hercules  Patent,  equipped  with  Knight  Patent  Chock,  the  McLaf- 
ferty  Stake,  or  the  Skookum  Bunk.  Weight,  approximately  19,000  pounds.  This  Car  is 
protected  by  U.  S.  Patents. 


Owing  to  the  original  construction  of  Bunk  and  Bolster  no  part  of  the  load  is  carried  on  the  timber  sills

Air -Equipped  Connected  Truck 

The  Most  Practical  Skeleton  Logging  Car  on  the  Market.     Equipped  With   U.  S.  Safely 
Appliances  to  Meet  Interstate  Commerce  Commission  Requirements 

This  car  has  done  more  to  make  the  name  of  the  Seattle  Car  &  Foundry  Co.  well  known  among  the  log 
ging  fraternity  than  any  other  single  one  of  our  products.  We  instituted  their  use  on  the  Pacific  Coast.  They 
were  designed  to  avoid  many  of  the  obvious  disadvantages  of  flat  cars  and  to  add  the  element  of  safety  to 
trucks  without  materially  increasing  cost. 

The  letter  which  follows,  pictures  better  than  we  could,  the  reception  and  experience  of  the  trade,  from 
the  view  point  of  the  actual  operator. 


NORTHWEST  LUMBER  COMPANY

Superintendent's  Offiee 

Kerriston,  Wash.,  July  19,  1913 

Mr.  F.  W.  Chriswell.  Chief  Engineer, 

Seattle  Car  &  Foundry  Co., 

Seattle.  Washington 
Dear  Sir: 

Mr.  Horton  our  Secretary  has  requested  me  to  write  you  of 
our  experience  with  the  connected  logging  trucks  which  we  have 
been  using  for  the  last  three  or  four  years. 

In  a  general  way  I  might  classify  this  under  two  heads,  con 
struction  and  operation.  Regards  to  construction  of  these  cars 
will  say,  while  they  are  seemingly  light,  we  have  found  them 
very  strong,  and  more  serviceable  in  our  logging  than  flat  cars 
which  we  had  previously  used  and  are  still  using.  The  air  equip 
ment  as  arranged  in  these  cars  is  very  well  protected,  and  we 
have  experienced  practically  no  trouble  whatsoever  from  break 
age.  Due  to  the  construction  of  these  cars  with  their  three  sills 
as  the  only  woodwork,  we  have  found  the  cost  of  maintenance 
very  little,  perhaps  due  to  a  certain  extent  to  the  accessibility  of 


the  parts,  which  permit  of  a  thorough  inspection  by  simply 
walking  past  the  car.  In  operating,  we  have  found  these  cars 
exceptionally  adapted  to  the  hauling  of  logs,  and  during  our  four 
years  experience  do  not  recall  an  instance  where  the  load  has 
been  spilled  due  to  any  fault  of  the  bunk  or  blocks.  Our  cars,  of 
which  we  have  twenty-four  in  operation,  are  built  on  twenty-four 
foot  truck  centers  with  nine  and  ten  foot  bunks,  and  during  the 
last  year  and  a  half  we  have  lost  but  one  log  except  through  de 
railment.  We  find  that  these  cars  seemingly  ride  easier  than  the 
seven  flat  cars  which  we  have  in  service,  permit  of  a  larger  load 
and  carry  their  loads  to  better  advantage.  These  cars  are  easily 
loaded,  and  it  is  not  uncommon  that  we  haul  nine  and  ten  thou 
sand  feet  to  the  car.  Our  loads  will  average  between  seven  and 
eight  thousand  feet  per  car.  All  of  the  trainmen  who  have 
worked  on  these  cars,  and  the  loaders  in  the  woods  like  them 
very  much.  The  fact  that  they  are  easy  to  load  leads  the  loaders 
to  put  on  a  good  load  on  them  and  in  a  careful  manner,  and  in  an 
all  around  way  will  consider  them  very  much  superior  to  the  flat 
cars  we  are  using,  being  seven  in  number  of  the  standard  logging 
type. 

Any  further  information  which  I  may  be  able  to  give  you  and 
which  you  may  desire,  will  be  furnished  with  pleasure  upon 
request.  Very  truly  yours.

"Skookum  Chief 

(100,000  POUNDS  CAPACITY.  STRONGEST  LOGGING  TRUCK  EVER  BUILT.) 

The  Skookum  Chief,  One-Piece  Cast  Steel  Truck  Frame  is  a  radical  departure  from  the  old  and  well 
known  designs  and  is  a  distinct  step  forward.  The  cast  steel  frame  in  locomotive  tender  construction  and 
passenger  car  trucks  has  been  widely  used  and  is  in  favor.  The  use  of  cast  steel  has  many  advantages.  The 
most  economic  distribution  of  metal  is  made  possible,  and  greatest  strength  with  least  weight  is  the  result. 
In  a  built-up  frame  there  is  always  some  weak  point  which  is  usually  where  the  parts  are  bolted  together. 
Bolts  become  loose  and  nuts  are  lost.  A  comparison  of  the  Skookum  Chief  with  any  other  truck  cannot  fail 
to  show  clearly  its  advantages  in  this  respect.  The  Side  Frame,  End  Frame,  Draft  Beams  and  Bolster  being 
in  ONE  PIECE  eliminates  possibility  of  weakness  where  these  parts  are  usually  joined  by  bolts,  and  the 
sections  of  the  various  parts  are  so  well  proportioned  that  nothing  short  of  a  serious  wreck  could  cause  fail 
ure.  The  repairman  would  be  almost  unnecessary  and  the  Truck  would 
always  be  in  commission,  making  it  possible  to  handle  the  business  of  a 
camp  with  one  or  two  sets  of  trucks  less. 

Equipment  of  Skookum  Chief 

Bunks— Hercules  Cast  Steel,  either  9  or  10  feet. 

Chocks -"Knight,"  "McLafferty,"  or  "Skookum"

Axles— Steel  with  5x9  Journals. 

Couplers— Automatic  with  bottom  unlocking  lever. 

Brakes  -Either  Inside  or  Outside  Hung  Beams  with  Hand  Wheel 

at  side. 
Capacity— The  capacity  of  this  truck  is  limited  only  by  the  axles.

plates  top  and  bottom  securely  riveted  to  channels.  The  Truck  is  equipped  with  Hercules 
Bunk  and  Knight  Chock  and  is  also  fitted  with  Metal  Bunk 
Brace. 

The  same  general  remarks  apply  to  this  truck  as  to 
Snohomish  Truck  No.  123.  The  frame  is  of  heavy  iron  bars 
and  the  fir  draft  timbers  have  a  sectional  area  of  144  square 
inches,  which  offers  great  resistance  to  buffing  shocks. 

Weight  per  set  trucks,  of  20,400  pounds.

Snohomish"  Logging  Truck 


This  truck  is  especially  adapted  to  use  on  Logging  Railroads,  where  an  uneven  track 
demands  a  flexible  running  gear  and  an  extremely  strong  frame.  These  requirements  are 
carried  out  in  this  design  by  placing* the  springs  over  the  Journal  Boxes  and  making  the 
frame  of  extra  heavy  Iron  Bars.  The  simplicity  of  the  design  also  appeals  to  the  operators, 
making  it  neccessary  to  carry  but  few  extra  parts  for  repairs. 

Bunk  shown  is  made  of  straight  grain  Red  Fir,  reinforced  with  special  heavy 
12-inch  I-Beam  closely  fitted  on  timber,  but  we  recommend  our  Hercules 
Patent  Bunk  equipped  with  Knight  Patent  Chock,  McLafferty  Stake  or 
Skookum  Chock. 

Either  Automatic  Couplers  or  Link  and  Pin  Drawbars  may  be  used,  as  our  Link 
and  Pin  Drawbar  is  designed  to  be  interchangeable  with  Automatic  Coupler, 
the  change  being  easily  made  at  any  time.  Bolsters  extra  heavy  Red 
Fir,  strongly  trussed.  Draft  Timbers,  Red  Fir.  Draft  Gear  M.  C.  B.

Capacity  100,000  Pounds

"Rainier" 
Number  201 


"Rainier"  Logging  Truck 


We  are  the  first  builders  of  Logging  Equipment  to  depart  from  the  practice  of  the  last  twenty  years 
and  produce  a  Logging  Truck  designed  along  practical  and  economic  lines.  Modern  railroading  has  developed 
the  "Cast  Steel"  Engine  Frame,  Tender  Frame  and  Passenger  Truck  Frame.  Wherever  safety  is  required 
together  with  lightness  and  durability,  Cast  Steel  has  been  introduced. 

Following  this  modern  plan  we  have  constructed  the  "Rainier"  All  Cast  Steel  Truck  of  eight  pieces 
where  ordinarily  several  hundred  are  used. 

Each  Side  Frame  is  in  one  piece  taking  the  place  of  Top  Arch  Bar,  Inverted  Arch  Bar,  Tie  Bar,  Heel 
Brace,  Truck  Columns,  and  the  many  Bolts  used  to  hold  these  parts  together. 

Each  End  Frame  is  in  one  piece  taking  the  place  of  Top  End  Bar,  Bottom  End  Bar,  Striking  Plate, 
Carry  Iron,  Corner  Gussets,  Brake  Staff  Brackets,  and  the  numerous  Bolts  necessary  to  tie  these  parts  together. 

The  Draft  Beams  are  each  in  one  piece,  taking  the  place  of  Draft  Timber,  Draft  Lugs,  and  the  Bolts  re 
quired  to  anchor  them. 

The  use  of  Cast  Steel  permits  of  the  most  economic  distribution  of  the  metal,  and  the  "Rainier"  Truck 
is  an  example  of  what  can  be  accomplished. 

The  Bolster  and  Bunk  are  similar  to  those  used  in  the  Hercules  Trucks. 

Springs  are  located  under  the  Bolster  to  absorb  shocks  which  would  otherwise  be  transferred  directly 
to  the  Truck  Frame.  The  Springs  over  the  Journal  Boxes  provide  additional  protection  from  shocks  and  also 
permit  the  wheels  to  hold  the  rails  on  an  uneven  track  or  at  low  joints. 

Brake  Beams  are  hung  between  the  wheels  and  kept  high  enough  to  protect  them  in  case  of  derailment. 

The  equipment  includes  Automatic  Couplers  to  Couple  with  Standard  Equipment,  33  inches  above  rail, 
and  33  inch  Chilled  Cast  Iron  Wheels  fitted  on  Steel  Axles  with  5x9  inch  Journals. 

Journal  Boxes  are  Malleable  Iron.     No  Cast  Iron  is  used  with  the  exception  of  Brake  Shoes. 

The  Center  Bearing  of  the  Bunk  and  Bolster  is  so  constructed  that  the  Bunk  cannot  turn  over  under 
load  when  train  is  started  or  stopped  suddenly,  as  the  Bunk  cannot  be  removed  from  the  Truck  until  it  is 
turned  parallel  to  the  Draft  Beams.  The  "Rainier"  Truck  stands  for  safety  first.

"Rainier" 

Number  340 


Designed  and  built  exclusively  by 
The  Seattle  Car  &  Foundry  Company 

All-Steel,  Improved,  "Rainier"  Truck 

This  truck  is  similar  to  the  one  shown  on  the  preceding  page.  It  differs  only  in 
having  the  side  frames  cast  in  one  piece,  thus  reducing  the  number  of  parts  and  increasing 
the  strength  of  the  truck,  a  practice  originated  by  us,  on  logging  trucks  and  which  is  being 
widely  adapted  by  leading  railroads  on  standard  equipment. 

This  truck  is  designed  for  extreme  conditions  where  the  timber  is  very  large  and  is 
taken  out  in  long  lengths  and  where  load  at  times  will  total  from  40  to  60  tons. 

From  the  fact  that  Cast  Steel  is  substituted  for  structural  design  the  expense  of  re 
pair  parts  is  practically  eliminated  while  the  factor  of  safety  is  sufficient  to  meet  all  demands 
unless  cars  meet  with  a  wreck. 

Attention  is  called  to  the  method  of  holding  the  bunk  in  place  by  means  of  a  bunk 
bracket  which  clamps  in  position  on  the  half  turn.  The  bunk  is  prevented  from  slipping 
out  of  position  by  Bunk  Stops  which  can  be  seen  on  the  side  frames. 

This  truck  is  designed  for  extreme  strength  and  rigidity.  It  is  certain  to  become  one 
of  our  most  popular  types.  Both  structurally  and  in  appearance  it  is  a  high-grade  product.

Designed  and  built  exclusively  by 

The  Seattle  Car  &  Foundry  Company 

"Red  River"  Type  Skeleton  Logging  Car 

Quadruple  Bunks 

80,000  CAPACITY.     40  FEET  LONG.     WEIGHT  COMPLETELY  EQUIPPED  12  TONS. 

The  efficiency  of  this  car  is  a  simple  mathematical  problem.  Compare  this  4-Bunk 
Car  with  a  Flat  Car  with  four  bunks  of  the  same  capacity  and  note  the  saving.  The 
percentage  of  dead  weight  to  log  capacity  is  30%  as  compared  to  36^%  for  the  flat  car  or 
a  car  cost  per  thousand  feet  logs  of  $78.50  as  compared  to  $93.50  for  flat  car.  This  means 
a  saving  of  20%  on  the  haul  back  of  empty  cars  and  nearly  20%  in  first  cost. 

Where  a  large  percentage  of  logs  from  12  to  20  feet  are  handled,  this  Quadruple 
Bunk  car  has  a  great  advantage  over  any  other  type.  The  construction  is  such  that  the 
entire  load  can  be  carried  safely  on  the  two  center  Bunks.  Logs  in  length  from  12  to  41 
feet  can  be  carried  with  equal  facility. 

Details  are  as  follows  : 

Westinghouse  Air  Brake,  Automatic  Couplers,  Tandem  Spring  Draft  Rig,  Two  Main 
Sills  10x10  in. ,  forty  feet. 

The  Bunks  are  arranged  to  dump  the  load  on  either  side. 

Two  Side  Sills  10x10  in.  extending  from  Bolster  to  Bolster.  Each  Side  Sill  is  trussed 
with  two  1)4  in.  rods.  Two  intermediate  bunks  are  located  directly  over  cross  ties.  Bunks 
are  10  feet  long  equipped  with  Knight  chocks. 

Bolsters  are  built  up  of  Structural  and  Cast  Steel  of  ample  capacity  to  carry  load. 

Trucks  are  Standard  Arch  Bar  type  with  4V2x8  in.  Journals.  33  inch  chilled  tread 
double-plate,  Griffin  wheels.  Structural  Steel  Bolsters  and  spring  plank.  All  metal  Brake 
Beams  inside  hung. 

This  car  is  equipped  with  all  necessary  steps  and  handles  and  meets  the  requirements 
of  the  Inter-State  Commerce  Commission  and  the  U.  S.  safety  appliance  laws.

TONS. 


This  car  is  similar  in  construction  to  the  Red  River  Car  shown  on  preceding  page  and 
differs  only  in  two  important  details,  the  first  point  of  difference  being  the  Bunks.  These 
Bunks  are  built  up  of  Structural  Steel  and  are  equipped  with  trip  stakes.  The  stakes  are 
released  or  tripped  from  the  safety  side  of  car.  The  other  difference  is  that  there  is  a 
10x10  in.  center  sill  between  the  two  main  sills  which  extends  from  draft  rig  'to  draft  rig. 

Where  short  length  logs  are  handled  four  bunks  must  be  provided  in  order  to  permit 
of  thirty  and  forty  ton  loads.  This  car  meets  these  conditions  perfectly.  Small  cars  of 
twenty  and  twenty-five  ton  capacity  are  not  heavy  enough  for  economical  and  careful 
handling  in  heavy  trains. 

The  same  efficiency  applies  in  the  handling  of  logs  as  compared  with  standard  flat 
cars  as  the  percentage  shown  on  opposite  page. 

For  details  see  the  description  of  the  "Red  River"  car  on  the  opposite  page.

Cast  Steel  "Rainier"  Bunk 

With  Non-Buckling  Compression  Bars 


CODE 

"Rabunk" 

Number  341 


(GENERAL  VIEW) 


(SECTIONAL  VIEW) 


"Rainier"  Bunk 

This  is  a  Cast  Steel  Bunk  equipped  with  Cast  Steel  Chocks  held  in  upright  position 
by  means  of  a  lock  together  with  a  locking  bar  extending  to  the  opposite  end  of  Bunk.  This 
bar,  instead  of  being  in  direct  compression  as  is  the  case  of  other  Bunks  of  this  type,  has 
the  compression  stress  reduced  two  thirds  by  means  of  the  lock.  The  chock  when  once 
tripped  can  not  rebound  into  position  and  lock  which  is  a  frequent  occurence  in  certain 
Bunks  now  on  the  market. 

This  bunk  is  absolutely  Fool-Proof. 


The  reduction  of  the  strain  on  the  compression  rods  completely 
eliminates  all  possibility  of  buckling  or  binding,  while  the  positive 
locking  device  does  away  completely  with  all  danger  of  bad  spills 
from  falling  logs. 

The  "Rainier"  Bunk  is  made  of  high  grade  Cast  Steel  and  is  a 
picture  of  massive  strength.  It  is  as  positive  in  its  operation  and  as 
simply  perfect  in  its  mechanical  construction  as  the  automatic 
coupler.  It  facilitates  and  expedites  the  handling  of  logs,  assuring 
a  saving  of  at  least  ten  cents  a  thousand  and  eliminates  all  possibility 
of  danger  to  the  operator.

Hercules  Patent  Double  Eye  Beam  Logging  Bunk  and 

Knight  Patent  Chock 

Can  be  applied  to  any  type  of   Logging  Truck  or  Flat  Car.     Indestructible  in   service.     No  repairs. 
Weight  approximately  1300  Ibs. 

The  Chock  Block   attachment  is    simple  in   construction,   easily  adjusted   and  quick  and   positive  in 
operation. 

When  Chock  Blocks  are  in  position  against  logs  and  grab  hook  applied,  the  load  is  secure. 

To  unload,  the  grab  hook  is  removed  and  the  movement  of  the  log  slides  chock  block  over  end  of  bunk 
as  illustrated  in  figure.     The  chock  block  on  opposite  end  is  readily  adjusted  to  the 
position  desired. 

The  men  are  never  required  to  get  on  the  unloading  side  of  car.  In  flat  car 
service  the  cost  of  all  wooden  stakes  and  blocks  is  eliminated,  a  saving  alone  in  one 
year  more  than  the  cost  of  the  Hercules  Bunks. 

Flat  Cars  can  be  unloaded  in  a  fraction  of  the  time,  with  absolutely  no  danger 
to  employees,  and  the  strain  on  car  body  reduced  to  a  minimum,  thereby  increasing 
the  life  of  the  car. 

When  applied  to  flat  cars  a  steel  channel  is  substituted  for  the  I-beam. 

It  is  especially  adapted  for  use  on  our  Connected  Trucks,  and  patents  have 
been  granted  covering  its  application  to  this  class  of  car. 

This  invention  is  thoroughly  protected  by  patents  in  the  United  States  and 
Canada  and  is  manufactured  exclusively  by

This  illustrates  one  of  the  improvements  in  our  Hercules  Bunk,  and  some  of  the 
advantages  are  herein  set  forth. 

Strength  is  more  than  doubled  ;  there  is  no  record  of  a  failure  of  this  Cast  Steel  Bunk. 

Will  not  deflect  under  greatest  load.     Consequently  there  is  always  side  bearing  clear 
ance,  and  danger  of  derailment  from  this  cause  is  eliminated. 

Ends  are  alike  so  that  Chocks  may  be  arranged  to  operate  from  either  side. 

Interchangeable  with  "Hercules"  double  I-Beam  Bunk. 

These  Cast  Steel  Bunks  are  made  for  both  Logging 
Trucks  and  Flat  Cars.  The  weight  of  this  Bunk  for  Logging 
Trucks  in  9  foot  length  is  600  pounds  each,  and  in  10  foot 
length  is  675  pounds  each.  For  Flat  Cars  the  weight  is  525

Skookum  Bunk 

With  Our  Original  Non-Collapsible  Frame 

(PATENTED) 

This  Bunk  provides  the  desirable  combination  of  a  Cast  Steel  Body  with  a  disappearing 
Chock  secured  by  a  Tension  Locking  Bar.  Practical  experiment  and  engineering  skill  have 
developed  this  Bunk  to  provide  "Safety  First "  in  handling  the  minimum  load  as  prescribed 
by  the  railways.  Where  an  adjustable  Chock  is  not  required  the  "  Skookum  "  will  prove 
its  superiority  on  account  of  its  Cast  Steel  Body,  which  is  similar  to  our  well  known 
Hercules  Cast  Steel  Bunk.  It  has  also  the  upward  projecting  flanges  to  prevent  the  shift 
ing  of  the  load,  and  the  hollow  channel  for  the  protection  of  the  locking  mechanism.  This 
type  has  been  copied  by  designers  of  all  modern  Bunks  since  our  first  model  was  introduced 
five  years  ago,  and  this  fact  is  evidence  of  the  merit  of  the  design. 

The  offset  foot  of  the  upright  leg  of  the  Chock  resting  upon  the  sloping  floor  of  the 
Bunk  makes  it  easily  held  in  position  but  impossible  to  prevent  its  disappearing  when 
released.  Unlocking  the  Chock  is  simple  and  easy  and  there  are  no  sliding  surfaces  to  wear 
away.  The  locking  bar  is  held  by  a  center  crank  and  locks  on  the  dead  center.  The  recess 
in  the  heel  of  the  Chock  engages  the  T-head  of  the  locking  bar  and  makes  a  positive  lock. 
The  Chock  locks  automatically  when  brought  to  position.  The  locking  bar  is  provided  with 
a  take-up  to  provide  a  means  of  overcoming  trouble  incident  to  wear  or  stretch  of  the  parts, 
and  always  maintain  a  perfect  adjustment.

Yosemite  Grade  Destroyer 

Yosemi  te^  Valley  ^.Railway  Standard  Logging  Car 

(60,000  POUNDS  CAPACITY) 

Equipped  with_Hercules  Bunks  and  Knight  Chocks 

This  car  was  specially  designed  for  the  Yosemite  Valley  Lumber  Co.  to  operate  on  an  incline  8,GOOTfeet 
long,  with  a  maximum  grade  uf  7S'/<,  the  rise  in  feet  from  the  foot  of  the  incline  to  the  top  being  3,100 
feet,  the  incline  being  in  a  vertical  plane,  but  following  the  general  slope  of  the  mountain  side  and  changing 
from  one  slope  to  another.  The  cars  are  let  down  the  incline  by  means  of  \y^  in.  wire  rope,  attached  to  a 
donkey  engine. 

This  car  was  designed  to  meet  these  conditions,  and  is  provided  with  a  steel  backbone,  reinforced  at  the 
ends  forward  of  bolsters  to  'provide  for  the  extreme  angle  of  cable  pull  |_f rom  a  horizontal  line  and  at  the 
down  hill  end  to  support  the  bulkhead,  which  is  provided  to  keep  the  logs  from  shifting.  The  vertical 
bulkhead  posts  are  riveted  to  the  steel  backbone.  At  the  cable  end  a  special  combination  buffer  and  cable 
casting  of  cast  steel  is  secured  to  the  backbone  by  means  of  gusset  plates,  and  is  also  riveted  to  end  sill. 

The  backbone  is  built  up  of  steel  plates  and  angles  in  the  form  of  a  box  girder,  of  the  fish  belly  type. 
Cross  bearers  are  located  intermediate  of  the  bolsters,  and  are  sufficiently  strong  to  carry  the  loads  from  the 
side  sills  to  the  center  construction.  Experience  has  proved  that  for  logging  cars,  steel  is  unsuited  for  use 
in  side  sills,  as  continual  shocks,  resulting  from  discharging  the  load,  causes  their  failure.  For  this  reason 
red  fir  side  sills  were  introduced  in  this  car,  making  the  underframe  a  composite  construction  of  steel  and 
timber.  The  side  sills  being  supported  at  four  points,  viz. :  at  bolsters  and  cross  bearers,  no  trouble  has 
been  experienced  from  failure  of  these  sills.  In  case  of  failure,  they  are  readily  replaced,  and  the  work  can 
readily  be  done  at  any  camp. 

The  bulkhead  is  constructed  with  a  steel  frame,  with  planking  for  the  bulkhead  proper,  so  that  in  case 
blocking  is  necessary  to  fill  out  between  the  log  and  the  Bulkhead,  this  blocking  can  be  nailed  to  the  bulkhead 
to  secure  it  in  place,  the  object  being  to  provide  against  the  possibility  of  the  log  starting  to  shift. 

The  cable  casting  is  made  with  a  machine-fit  pin  to  engage  the  shackle  on  the  cable  and  place  the  pin  in 
positive  shear. 

The  cars  were  equipped  with  four  Hercules  Bunks,  to  provide  for  short  or 
long  logs. 

The  trucks  are  of  the  Diamond  Arch  Bar  type,  with  cast  steel  bolsters.  The 
bolsters  are  of  special  design,  with  hemispherical  center  bearing,  to  take  care  of 
the  rock  of  the  trucks  in  passing  over  the  sharp,  vertical  curves. 

Axles  with  4Jx8  in.  journals,  and  33  in.  chilled  cast  iron  wheels  are  used. 

Cars  are  equipped  with  Westinghouse  automatic  air  brakes  and  inside  hung 
metal  brake  beams. 

The  draft  rig  is  of  the  twin  spring  type,  with  automatic  couplers.

Steel  Under-Frame  Refrigerator  Car 

(CAPACITY  70,000  POUNDS) 

The  interior  of  this  car  is  arranged  to  accommodate  halves  of  beef  of  the  largest  size 
suspended  from  trolleys  on  a  track,  and  have  ample  clearance  to  keep  the  neck  of  the  beef 
from  the  floor.  There  are  three  tracks  extending  the  length  of  the  car  with  switches  at 
the  door  to  direct  the  beef  to  any  track  desired.  Between  the  tracks  at  each  carline  are 
cross  hooks  provided  on  which  mutton  may  be  hung.  The  tracks  are  arranged  so  that  the 
beef  may  be  handled  by  trolley  directly  from  the  cooling  room  into  the  car  and  left  sus 
pended  in  the  car  to  be  unloaded  by  trolley  at  destination.  The  economy  of  this  specially 
designed  car  will  appeal  to  the  packer  who  ships  from  the  Abattoir  to  various  distributing 
centers.  Provision  is  made  to  prevent  the  load  from  swinging  which  adds  to  the  safety  in 
transit.  Ice  boxes  are  arranged  at  ends  with  provision  for  ventilation  and  complete 
refrigeration.  The  thorough  manner  of  insulation  and  ventilation  makes  it  possible  to 
reduce  the  capacity  of  ice  boxes  to  a  minimum,  thereby  reducing  the  cost  of  icing  and  at 
the  same  time  increasing  the  space  for  loading. 

The  underframe  is  built  of  structural  steel,  and  is  designed  to  withstand  the  most  severe 
handling  with  an  ample  factor  of  safety.

For  several  years  the 
necessity  of  providing  econom 
ical,  sanitary  and  covenient 
commissary  and  living  accom 
modations  for  the  employes  of 
Lumber  Camps  has  induced  us 
to  investigate  fully  the  best 
equipment  now  in  use  for  that 
purpose  and  has  enabled  us  to 
design  equipment  of  Portable 
Camp  Trains  to  meet  the 
requirements  of  individual 
operators. 


These  Portable  Camps 
are  being  introduced  and  in 
stalled  in  nearly  all  large 
lumbering  and  railroad  op 
erations  as  they  not  only 
prevent  many  serious  losses 
heretofore  sustained  by  the 
destruction  by  fire  of  camp 
outfits  but  at  the  same  time 
make  it  possible  to  keep  the 
workmen's  headquarters 
close  to  the  work,  thereby 
greatly  increasing  their 
physical  efficiency.

All  Steel  1  1-2  Yard  Two-Way  Side  Dump  Car 

This  dump  car  is  particularly  adapted  for  use  in  quarries  in  connection  with  lime  or 
cement  works,  where  a  light  easy  running  car  is  required.  The  body  and  truck  frame  is 
unusually  rigid  for  a  small  capacity  car,  which  adds  much  to  its  life.  The  body  of  the  car 
is  built  of  steel  plate  strongly  braced  with  steel  angles  and  the  top  rocker  bearing  is  a  steel 
casting.  The  bottom  bearing  is  a  forged  jaw  with  a  square  shank  which  sets  into  a  recess 
in  the  truck  frame  in  such  a  manner  that  it  cannot  raise  in  dumping,  but  the  body  may  be 
lifted  from  the  trucks  without  removing  any  bolts  or  keys.  The  object  of  this  construction 
is  that  the  body  will  become  separated  from  the  truck  in  case  the  car  is  derailed  and  rolls 
down  an  embankment  permitting  the  two  parts  to  be  handled  with  little  difficulty.  The 
angle  of  dump  is  ample  to  clear  the  load  and  the  door  is  free  to  swing  permitting  a  free 
discharge  of  the  load  without  bringing  any  shock  upon  the  door,  which  in  the  case  of  the 
door  being  held  in  a  fixed  position  often  causes  an  upset  car  and  the  consequent  disabling 
of  the  car.  The  door  closes  and  locks  automatically  as  the  body  is  righted.  The  truck 
frame  is  built  of  steel  I-beams  and  channels  and  the  drawhead  is  a  heavy  forging  and  fit 
ted  with  draft  springs.  One  man  may  easily  dump  the  loaded  car  and  bring  the  body  back 
into  position.  The  wheels  are  16-inch  chilled  cast  iron.

dumping.  As  the  Car  Body  is  brought  to  an  upright  position  the  doors  close  auto

Some  Facts  About  Railroad  Building 

Curves 

The  simplest  way  of  designating  a  railroad  curve  is  by  giving  the  length  of  the  radius  — 
i.  e.,  the  distance  from  the  center  to  the  outside  of  the  circle,  or  one-half  the  diameter. 
The  shorter  the  radius  the  sharper  the  curve.  The  length  of  the  radius  is  usually  stated  in 
feet;  but  English  engineers  often  state  the  radius  in  chains  (one  chain=66  feet).  The 
length  of  the  radius  of  a  railroad  curve  is  measured  to  the  center  of  the  track. 

Civil  engineers  designate  railway  curves  by  degrees  (using  the  sign  "  for  degrees  and 
"  for  minutes,  there  being  60  minutes  in  one  degree).  The  sharpness  of  the  curve  is  de 
termined  by  the  "degree  of  curve,"  or  the  number  of  degrees  of  the  central  angle  subtend 
ed  by  a  chord  of  100  feet.  Or,  in  other  words,  let  two  lines  start  from  the  center  of  a  circle 
in  the  shape  of  a  V,  so  that  the  angle  at  the  point  of  the  V  is  one  degree  (equivalent  to  :,i,, 
of  a  complete  circle),  then,  if  the  two  sides  of  the  V  are  prolonged  until  they  are  100  feet 
apart,  any  part  of  a  circle  made  by  using  one  of  these  lines  for  its  radius  is  a  "one-degree 
curve,"  The  exact  length  of  radius  which  with  an  angle  of  one  degree  has  a  chord  of  100 
feet  is  found  to  be  5,729.65  feet.  For  sake  of  convenience  5,730  feet  is  usually  taken  as 
the  radius  of  a  one-degree  curve.  If  the  angle  at  the  point  of  the  V  is  two  degrees  and  the 
sides  are  prolonged  until  100  feet  apart,  the  length  of  each  side  is  (almost  exactly)  one-half 
as  long  as  when  the  angle  is  one  degree,  or  one-half  of  5,730=2,865  feet.  For  a  three- 
degree  curve  the  radius  is  one-third  of  5,730;  for  a  four-degree  curve  one-fourth  of  5,730; 
and  so  on.  For  perfect  exactness  the  length  of  100  feet  should  be  measured  not  along  a 
straight  line  connecting  the  ends  of  the  V,  but  along  the  line  of  the  circle  of  which  the  sides 
of  the  V  are  radii—  i.  e.,  the  arc  should  be  used  and  not  the  chord.  The  difference,  how 
ever,  is  so  slight  for  any  curves  ordinarily  used  on  main  lines  of  standard  gauge  railroad  as 
to  be  ignored  in  practice.  But  for  extremely  sharp  curves,  such  as  our  locomotives  both 
wide  and  narrow  gauge  are  built  for,  a  considerable  mathematical  error  would  be  involved 
by  the  use  of  100-foot  chords  and  calculating  the  length  of  the  radius  by  dividing  5,730  by 
the  degree  of  curve.  The  ratio  of  this  error  increases  with  the  degree  of  curve,  since  the 
error  is  caused  by  neglecting  the  difference  between  the  length  of  the  chord  and  of  the  arc 
(e.  g.,  a  60-degree  curve  and  100-foot  chord  mathematically  compels  100-feet  radius  instead 
of  95y2  feet;  a  90-degree  curve  and  100-foot  chord,  71—  feet  radius  instead  of  63.6  feet). 

In  practice,  however,  the  formula  of  dividing  5,730  by  the  degree  of  curve  (R=^3-°) 
is  almost  universally  used,  and  the  mathematical  error  is  avoided  by  using  two  50-foot 
chords  for  curves  ranging  from  10  to  16  degrees,  and  four  25-foot  chords  for  curves  ranging 
from  17  to  30  degrees,  and  further  sub-dividing  for  sharper  curves,  since  this  almost  exact 
ly  balances  the  error,  and  it  is  also  a  practical  necessity  in  laying  out  sharp  curves  to  use 
short  chords. 

For  extremely  sharp  curves,  or  say  100  feet  radius  or  less,  it  is  usual  to  express  the 
curve  by  feet  radius  rather  than  by  degrees.  The  table  following  is  computed  by  the 
formula  R=^^-,  and  fractions  of  feet  are  not  taken  into  account. 


NOTE—  The  above  engineers'  method  of  designating  the  rate  of  curvature  of  a  railway  curve  must  not 
be  confounded  with  the  number  of  degrees  of  a  circle  occupied  by  the  curved  portion  of  the  track  ;  thus  a 
curved  track  making  a  quarter  turn,  equivalent  to  a  right  angle,  will  always  be  90  degrees  of  a  circle  (360 
degrees=the  whole  circle)  no  matter  whether  the  curve  is  an  easy  one  with  a  long  radius  or  a  sharp  one  with 
a  short  radius.

Rule  for  Measuring  the  Radius  of  a  Sharp^Curve 

Stretch  a'string,  say  20  feet  long,  or  longer  if  the  curve  is  not  a  sharp 
X.      one,  across  the  curve  corresponding  to  the  line  from  A  to  C  in  the  diagram, 
c   Then  [measure  from  B,  the  center  of  the  line  A  C,  and  at  right  angles  with 
it,  to  the  rail  at  D. 

Multiply  the  distance  A  to  B,  or  one-half  the  length  of  the  string  in  inches,  by  itself; 
measure  the  distance  D  to  B  in  inches,  and  multiply  it  by  itself.  Add  these  two  products 
and  divide  the  sum  by  twice  the  distance  from  B  to  D,  measured  exactly  in  inches  and 
fractional  parts  of  inches.  This  will  give  the  radius  of  the  curve  in  inches. 

It  may  be  more  convenient  to  use  a  straight  edge  instead  of  a  string.  Care  must  be 
taken  to  have  the  ends  of  the  string  or  straight  edge  touch  the  same  part  of  the  rail  as  is 
taken  in  measuring  the  distance  from  the  center.  If  the  string  touches  the  bottom  of  the 
rail  flange  at  each  end,  and  the  center  measurement  is  made  to  the  rail  head,  the  result 
will  not  be  correct. 

In  practice  it  will  be  found  best  to  make  trials  on  different  parts  of  the  curve  to  allow 
for  irregularities.  It  is  best  not  to  measure  across  from  one  end  of  the  curved  track  to  the 
other  even  when  the  curve  is  so  located  that  this  is  possible,  since  if  any  portion  of  the 
straight  track  at  either  end  of  the  curve  is  included  the  result  will  be  incorrect.  This  rule 
does  not  apply  to  curves  of  over  one-half  circle  if  the  line  is  drawn  connecting  the  two  ends 
of  the  curve.  It  is  a  good  plan  to  make  the  measurement  on  the  inside  of  the  outer  rail  of 
the  curve,  as  this  is  often  more  convenient.  In  this  case  one- half  of  the  width  of  gauge 
should  be  deducted  from  the  radius  when  calculated,  as  the  radius  of  the  curve  should  be 
measured  to  the  center  of  the  track. 

ExAMPLE-Let  A  C  be  a  20-foot  string;  half  the  distance,  or  A  B,  is  then  10  feet,  or  120  inches.  Sup 
pose  B  D  is  found  on  measurement  to  be  3  inches.  Then  120  multiplied  by  120  is  14,400,  and  3  multiplied  by 
3  is  9;  14,400  added  to  9  is  14,409,  which,  divided  by  twice  3,  or  6,  equals  2,401>2  inches,  or  200  feet  1%  inches, 
which  is  the  radius  of  the  curve. 


The  formula  is  thus  stated  : 


A  B'  plus  B  D' 
2  B  D 


=R. 


120'-'  plus  32 

Or  applied  to  the  above  example,  -o-nfb^-q- =2,401%  in.  ==  200  feet  \%  inches.
